Is there any way how this would be resolved?

I can easily imagine that two courts, no matter whether they are in the
same or different countries, would decide differently in grey areas like
non-GPL modules or the GPLv2 and private keys.

If the two courts are in the same country there's usually a higher court
above both that can resolve this. But what if let's say the highest
court in the USA and the highest court in Germany would disagree on such
a matter?
